The new Ripper USF - Ultimate Shocker Frame by Logic Paintball (CoolHand)

[CoolHand]

Lookin' good man.

I'm glad you like it.

The trigger pull on these things is sick, is it not? I was very happy with the way that turned out (functionally).

I just got the sample back from the new ano guy, so the batch will be going out in a day or two. When they buff it, the hard edges come off the chamfers, so that you don't feel them anymore (I knew this would happen, which is why I didn't worry too much about the feel of them raw).

I will get pics of the ano'ed one up tomorrow or the next day.

Enjoy it, you are only the second guy in the country with one, and the only guy on the west coast.

That won't last long though, as it sets, this batch is nearly gone.

Wow, awesome frame, love the angle of the frame. Shocktech shockers are also insanely sexy. Nice job Jack and Coke! You always take the best pics of your guns.

the frame is nice and all... but it seems too ... tall not like, vertically, but where the frame attaches to the marker... it just doesnt seem to fit for some reason... but im glad you are happy with it

Have you ever seen a stock Shocker frame? They are all that tall, they have to be to clear the solenoid.

Height wise, these new frames are 1/8" taller than stock, but with the dovetail built in, they end up being nearly 3/4" shorter overall (when you get the air system mounted).

I know what you mean, but it looks about as tall as the stock frame (which I always thought looked tall)

But yeah, looks like a huge improvment over stock. Nice work!

nope.



compared to a 90*



with the use of the integrated rail, the whole setup is shorther than a stock frame+rail

*update*

(note: all of this "finishing" work was done because I chose to order a "raw" frame. i wanted to learn how to do it myself. If you order a normal anodized frame, you don't have to do this stuff...)

The other week I filed, sanded, and polished the raw frame. I plan on anodizing it together in the same batch as my shocktech shocker body.

• I rounded all sharp corners and camfers with a precision file (miniture).
• Next I used "fine" sandpaper, then 400, then 1000...
• After sanding, I used a dremel with buffing wheel + Tripoli compound and Mother's mag and aluminum polish.
• some parts of the frame are coming along very nicely. Rounded, smooth surfaces + mirror like reflection.
• after I'm satisfied with the finish, I'll anodize the frame together with the rest of my shocktech shocker (all gloss black).

here are a few progress pics...









It is definately worth the extra $10 to have all this done for you by CoolHand... but I'm enjoying the experience of doing this on my own. It feels nice to take a tool marked piece of aluminum and buff out a near mirror like finish.

Also, by ordering raw, I'm able to round and smooth out the hard sharp camfers on the the front and back of the frame to my preference.

more pics...

After polishing the new frame I sanded and polished the Shocktech body to match.

I took out the original dust sparkly finish, and gave it a mirror shine. It should look good after I anodize it black (with a bri-dip finish).

Just back from anodizers...

(sorry for the poor lighting, I was in a rush this morning)

- I'm very happy with the results so far... :)

- I'm still waiting for my reg and eye cover to be anodized to match...

- More pics later...

cheers,

Jack I hate you, I think I have to get a shocktech shocker+ripper USF now...got to start saving.

[danoxide]

jack you got one of those snazzy shocktech grip frames with there trigger laying around your trying to get rid of now? PM me please...PLEASE

[NoForts4Me]

VERY nice! Who anodized that for you? That seemed like a quick turn-around compared to some of the horror stories I hear out of anodizing shops.

LOL I showed this thread to an old friend who has been out of PB for about 10 years and he said "WOW look at that... Is that a new Mag?" BTW, my friend shot a mag back in the day.

No... sorry. The original frame on my Shocktech is the same as any other stock shocker. My Shocktech is like number 00019 or something... so it had the stock frame. They came out with the 'new' Shocktech frame only a month or two ago. I never sent it in for the *free life-time upgrade*. If I were more patient (...and smarter ), I should have done that. I have received many offers already! Oh well... too late now.

These guys are about 15 min. down the street from me (no shipping yay!)

This job cost me $65 + $10 ($10 extra for "bri-dip" coating)

They do stuff for Dye and others... while i was there I saw boxes of parts for a Cyborg for tri-fade work.

Paintball is only part of their work... they do a very good job, but it's not their "specialty". They do a lot of aircraft parts, and custom bikes, misc accessories, etc. They used to do all that buffing and polishing stuff (finishing work), but not any more. They'll do deburring and some polishing (lots of vibration tubs). But, for the most part, it's best if you send it to them ready to be anodized.

I know the feeling! Every time I hold this gun and rip on it, I think to myself...

"THIS is what my emag should have been!"

super light, ultra-compact, nimble, solid, efficient, and super fast!

I love the small/tiny size of the mag and this shocker.

[Jack & Coke]

Put that bad boy together!

My ST reg and eye covers are being anodized (should be done by friday), so here's how the gun looks with one of my other regs (CP shorty) and without the eye cover.

Also, the adjustment screw for the freedneck could not be anodized. I tried to separate the screw (steel) from the knob (aluminum), but couldn't... so that is why it is still silver. If they try to anodize it, the screw will disolve in the acid bath.

I love this frame!
